My little princess, it's your dad... you know me, right... I'll not say to you like to everyone I say, this is Captain Thomas Chandler, USS Nathan James. Coz for you I'm ordinary father same as every father who cares his child. I'm on board now. Left the Nicaragua and heading back toward San Diego. I miss our home then I miss you. I do not know what you'd appear as if you existed today. If you existed today, what would your thoughts be? I always feel so nice when I think about you. But you would possibly have looked even as beautiful as your mom. I wanted to show you the dawn over Atlantic Ocean from Gibraltar by sitting on CO's chair on the bridge. The view is prepossessing. As pretty as you.
Here, the XO of the ship, Mike Slattery... my friend who sit beside me on every mission, every operation and each battle. He asked me once that why I'm not get married? No wife, no kids.
Last year I went his home on his son's birthday. He and his family were happy. They were enjoying every moment of their life. Joy or sorrow regardless of. But now everything has changed for him and for everyone. When the Red Flu came, his son got sick by the virus. His wife looted and killed by robber for food. His daughter also died in this global pandemic. He has nothing left behind accept that vacant house and few family frames on the wall. He should have been there when they needed him most. But he wasn't. And it's not his fault. He tried fully but he couldn't make it. After all this he said, better not to have children than to not be there when they need you.
The world is sick. Red Flu covered more than 80% of the worlds population. It had been heart rending to see young children lying dead on the side of the road. They're cremated together in the cemetery. Whoever are left they're fighting for food, killing for food. The people are too wounded and scared to think of themselves. This virus has unleashed the worse in human nature. If I had a daughter, If I had a wife, If I had a family, what would I even have done during this time when I'm out there in the ocean and you're here at home. I cannot imagine. I don't want to.
The virus isn't airborne but it's contagious and it's spreading frighteningly fast. Our Naval Base is not secure. Our commodore and President's family is caught by virus. The government has fallen. There is no government no rules either. POTUS has gone underground. We don't know if he is alive or not. The last message came from White House is 6 months older now. Military and armed forces aren't working. We have no contact with any authorities. This Warship is the only hope now.
Dr. Rachel Scott is with us on the ship and functioning on the cure. We're doing everything we can do till our last breath to get the cure, to find the vaccine, to save the human race. Some anti elements are intercepting our way for the cure and food supply. We had contact with Russian Hydra Class Warship. They tried to get Dr. Scott and her research. Their agenda was harmful for the humanity. We got stuck in heavy missile and torpedo firing of their ambush. But we got successful to sank the Russian Warship and the we came back on our way.
It took months for getting the cure. The vaccination trial on monkeys was successful so finally Nathan James returning to port San Diego with the cure. But there in the city, situation is lethal. People are dying. whole world is sick, all chaos and famine condition everywhere. I thrust into a situation that no one can prepare you for. I don't know as a Captain what should I do? My crew is distressed. The families of my crew are out there fighting for essentials. They can't escape. they can't get medical facility, they might just die. Some of them are dead already. Some are hiding themselves in their houses for weeks without ration. But still they've hope, that for an instance my mom, my son might be alive there and I want to reach to them to give the cure. many of the crew members got hit by the Russian Navy attack. Some are K.I.A. and some are injured. I even have blood on my hands too. Killing an individual in a war for peace & humanity is simply contradictory. I saw dozens of war, killed hundreds of people by myself. Some of my lieutenants were hit down and I failed to save their lives. I don't want you to see this chaotic world, where people get hopeless and aggressive to live.
I am doubtful about my existence for coming days on earth. The virus will win or a bullet will drawn me I can't say.. I'm not afraid for myself but for others. Everything is uncertain now. And even if we get over this, there's much possible chances of next imminence. Some people are killing innocent civilians to fulfill their own desires. When I went with my V.B.S.S. team to Nicaragua Island to hunt monkeys for vaccine trial, we rescued some teen age girls from human trafficking. By seeing all this things happening in the world I've less fortitude to have a family. I can show valor on the battlefield but heart isn't that courageous to risk your life. Especially when I'm not there with you. I don't want to hold you in limitations. I want you to chase your goals, search for joy. I had also decided what your name should if you were born. But obviously I've never found any such pleasing place where me and my family will live safe and satisfied life. And now, at this apocalypse... I have nothing much to say. But one thing I'm certain that you're the happiest unborn daughter ever.
Now for me, us, we've a nation to build a world to repair. My eyes are now looking forward to horizon for better days.
Your Dad
Capt. Thomas Chandler
USS Nathan James.
